by Ben Margot - AP View full size photo » There's a lot of pessimism in Jets land right now. That's easy to understand. After a 3-0 start, 4-4 seems like a disappointment, especially considering how it has happened. There's only one loss where the Jets were simply outexecuted, the Monday night game at Miami. In the other three, New York registered a ton of self-inflicted wounds. The thing people need to remem...

Alan Faneca to miss pre-season game against the Rams

Alan Faneca to miss pre-season game against the Rams Man...Alan Faneca really wants nothing to do with the Rams. After snubbing them in Free Agency last season, Faneca has now broken his finger and will not play against the Rams in Friday's pre-season matchup. I don't know if this is good news because we will be able to get more pressure on their starters (hopefully!), or bad news because our D-line won't get some good work in against one of the best guards in the game.

FREE AGENCY ADVICE FROM ALAN FANECA

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:31:42 -0500

Apparently this appeared in the latest issue of The Sporting News. Try and contain your laughter.
That's right, look for a place you can win. It's the most important thing. You know, like ditching a perennial contender for a 4-12 team that for some reason thought they were a veteran or five away from a Super Bowl appearance in 2008. And did I mention that team plays in the same division as New England? That's a recipe for a winner if I've ever seen one.

And by the way, if any of you prospective free agents see a lowly Steeler lineman on the street, ask him what their 2008 championship rings are going to look like.

Faneca says little known skill helped in contract negotiation

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 11:22:42 -0500

"When I finally got the chance to sit down with Coach Mangini, he asked me whether I had any experience with video equipment - everything from high-definition cameras to hidden recording devices," Faneca remembered. "And I was like, 'yeah, of course; I minored in television and film production at LSU, and I received hands-on training with that sort of equipment everyday for nearly two years straight.' But before I could even finish, he starts saying 'let's do this, whatever it takes.' 21 mil in cash later, here I am."

Faneca signs with the Jets.

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 20:37:22 -0500

The year of grossly over-paying free agents has continued. The New York Jets today signed offensive guard Alan Faneca away from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Faneca will receive $40 million over 5 years, with $21 million of it guaranteed. The Jets were originally seeking only four years, but added a fifth to make sure there no snags in getting this done. My guess Faneca is gone after three, as he is already 32 years old.
